Best system monitoring software for Linux?

So I've recently started using Linux a lot more and I really enjoy it but one of the things I've found a hard time with is monitoring my system resources. Most of the built in applications such as the system monitor application in ubuntu just doesn't have enough information. I've been trying to find third party software but most of it either doesn't work, isn't easy to use or only uses the terminal and I'm really not down for that. I want to have graphs and other detailed information. Also I can't find any software to overclock my GPU in Linux either. To me knowledge there's no MSI afterburner for Linux.

What gpu do you have?

 

For monitoring, the terminal is your friend. What do you want to monitor. There is htop, dstat, nload, atop, sysstat, and others.

+ glances (find it in pypi) and lm-sensors for sensor data. Not sure what you are trying to do though.

I have a GTX 970. I mostly just want to monitor CPU usage, clock speed, memory usage and GPU usage. Normally I use task manager in Windows for that because it's simple and easy but when I want more detailed into I would use something Like AIDA64 but that doesn't exist on Linux to my knowledge.

htop or glances should work fine then.
